The step wise progression from normal mucosa to cancer is better understood in the colon than in any other GI organ. Adenomas which begin in flat mucosa, are the earliest histologically identifiable neoplastic lesions. patients with adenomatous polyps are at greater risk for subsequent development of cancer...The early detection of this complaint, including genetic tests and diagnostic features, treatment and postoperative follow-ups, are described in the article.
